When you use template with disk on a storage that doesn't support sparsify, then it
will not create thin disk on it. But I'm not sure how exactly that works.
What ovirt version you have? I've found some BZ with problem creating raw disks from
template, that should be fixed in 4.3.

People always confuse two things - that bug talks about how the new disk will be written -
which format and if it’s sparse or not depends on the format capabilities (comment 13),
but the setting you see when creating a VM is about something else - you either keep a
link to the original template disk or you make a completely separate clone. It’s limited
by the format too, so e.g. for RAW the former option is not really possible
